As we age , collagen in the skin decreases, and as the volume of fat and bone diminishes, the structure supporting the face changes. This is why the face suddenly looks older.
Sculptra is a collagen stimulant that helps your body produce more collagen . Its function differs from fillers that simply add volume. When the main component, PLLA particles, settle in the dermis and subcutaneous layer, new collagen is created in the surrounding area.
So, it doesn't change the next day. Instead , it gradually builds up over several weeks, and that change lasts a long time.
About Sculptra
PLLA, the main ingredient of Sculptra, is
How does it work inside the skin?
What is PLLA?
The main ingredient of Sculptra PLLA is poly-L-lactic acidis. As a material also used in surgical sutures, It is absorbed through biodegradation inside the body. Because it does not dissolve in water, it becomes a non-settling suspension when hydrated with sterile water for injection.
The PLLA in Sculptra is called PLLA-SCA. Because the particle size is uneven and the surface is rough within a certain range, it remains at the injection site and provides different stimuli for a long time.
It makes the body produce new collagen.
When PLLA particles settle in tissue, macrophages gather around them, and some merge to form multinucleated giant cells. The signaling molecules released at this time activate fibroblasts, and After that, new collagen gradually increases over the course of several weeks.
Hyaluronic acid fillers fill the space with external substances, while Sculptra creates volume using collagen produced by your own tissue. Therefore, performing both treatment together fills in the areas where each other is lacking.
Collagen fills the space where the particles have disappeared.
Three months after the Sculptra treatment , the collagen in the skin is 66% increase...did. PLLA particles gradually decompose over 8 to 24 months, and At the 30-month mark, collagen filled the space where the particles were.
Based on Goldberg D, et al. Dermatol Surg. 2013 / Vleggaar D. Dermatol Surg. 2005. The degradation results are based on papers and histological examination results and may differ from the actual process, and there are individual differences in effects and course.
How It Works
How Sculptra works
Hydrated Sculptra into the dermis and
Injected evenly into the subcutaneous layer
The moisture is absorbed within a few days.
Collagen fibers are formed around the remaining particles
PLLA decomposes and disappears.
Newly created collagen remains in place
Treatment Areas
Sculptra treatment area
The amount of volume lost varies by area.
Divide the layers and volume to inject evenly.
There are areas where Sculptra is not injected. The skin under the eyes, eyelids, eye corners, under-eye aegyo-sal (under-eye love band), lips and lip line, forehead, glabella, and nose is thin, making nodules easily noticeable. We recommend other treatment for these areas.
Product
Sculptra Product Information
We disclose the ingredients and content of the products used exactly as they are.
Sculptra has a different purpose than hyaluronic acid fillers.
Fillers inject external substances to create volume immediately on the spot and disappear after several months, but
Sculptra increases my collagen, so the changes continue gradually over 25 months.

The weight is the same, but
People whose faces look sunken
To get a filler treatment
Those who feel burdened

The Episode Difference
Why It's Different
Every process has its own reason for the EPISODE.
01
As is - To be - Design
First, check the sunken areas of the face.
After determining the amount to be injected for each area, the treatment is performed.
02
Accurate product and capacity
I confirm it right before my eyes.
Sculptra is treatment in vials. After checking the genuine label together, open, I will show you the entire process of using up a whole bottle.
RELIABILITY03
If you keep a record
The changes are more visible.
Because collagen is produced slowly over several weeks, it is difficult to notice changes in the face you see every day. Record the products used, the sites and injection volumes per session in an online report, and I assess the effectiveness of Sculptra by looking at this record.

Notice
Please observe these points after the treatment .
-
1
The volume immediately after the treatment is due to the sterile water used for hydration. It may feel like the volume decreases as the water is absorbed within a few days, which is a normal process.
-
2
For 5 days after the treatment , please massage 5 times a day for 5 minutes at a time. To minimize irritation, apply cream and massage in a circular motion around the treatment area until sufficient pressure is felt.
-
3
Sculptra is a treatment performed an average of 3 to 4 times at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. Collagen gradually increases over several weeks after the treatment and accumulates with each subsequent session.
-
